Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoshu opened Wuxiang Building, and he dealt with people on weekdays, and there were many familiar customers and vendors.

After several introductions, I found a very reliable clay team, specially instructed to do it as soon as possible, and specially sealed a big red envelope, and the craftsmen worked extra hard, but it was already good in January.

During this month, the furniture she ordered was almost finished.

Then, he began to move the furniture and vegetation into the new house one after another, and Zhong Xiaoshu was not idle during the renovation period.

With such a large mansion, there can't be no one to serve you.

Yin Zhige is now also a four-rank general, although his official mansion can't be too public, it can't be too shabby.

Therefore, this maid and wife who is waiting, everyone else has it, and he can't do without it.

Zhong Xiaoshu met several teams of people in the first half of the month, and picked dozens of people, including fat and strong old women, little maids who are used to meticulous kung fu, cooks who do southern cuisine, and some half-old young children who were accepted in to prepare to be domestic servants, and finally filled the mansion of Nuoda with slaves.

But in general, they are still strange faces, there is no way, she and Yin Zhige are both from peasant families, and there is only one Nianwu around who can be regarded as a personal maid.

Zhong Xiaoshu is not very relieved, after all, when picking people, although they try to look at the kind and kind choice, but knowing the face but not the heart, who can guarantee whether these new slaves are good or bad?

Especially when the house was complicated in the early days, it was the easiest to be exploited by people with intentions, Zhong Xiaoshu thought about it, and specially asked Yin Zhige to temporarily lend her a small team of soldiers.

After hearing what she said, Yin Zhige nodded and said, "Now that our foundation is still unstable, we really need to be cautious. In this way, I will give you a few trustworthy people around me. ”

With this group of personal soldiers holding sabers in their hands, this can be regarded as a layer of protection.

As for what these slaves really think and whether they can be reused, that is how long they will see people's hearts.

Zhong Xiaoshu relaxed a little, and in the second half of the month, he concentrated on arranging the interior decorations and furniture, and there was a lot of knowledge in it.

Now Yin Zhige's official residence is four grades, the grade is not high or low, and the home decoration utensils can neither lose their identity nor cross the rank.

For example, the selection of materials for the round table, the prime minister's first-class master is naturally the top red sandalwood, and the yellow pear at the bottom is what they can choose; Another example is porcelain bowls and porcelain, the palace is naturally a tribute, and the ministers above the third grade are the top grades of the official kiln, and they must not be wrongly chosen; There are also cloth curtains, screen carving, and it really took a lot of effort to scatter the forest.

Finally on the day of the beginning of summer, Yin Zhige and Zhong Xiaoshu moved into their new home from Wuxianglou.

On the first day that the two lived in Yin's Mansion, before they could visit their new home, they heard a report from the little guy in front of them, saying that General Guangwu and his wife had come to visit Hexi.

This Guangwu general, impartially, happens to be a third-grade general, one level higher than Yin Zhige, although he is in command of the city guard, and Yin Zhige is not on duty in the same system, but it is always the official who crushes people to death.

Yin Zhige and Zhong Xiaoshu glanced at each other, and had a number in their hearts, so they hurriedly invited these two in.

General Guangwu's surname is Li, he is a middle-aged soldier, he fought a few beautiful battles when he was young, and later because of serious physical injuries can not adapt to the wind and sand of the border stopper, the saint sympathized with him and transferred him back to Beijing to command the Jingzhong Protector Army, plus in recent years, relations with neighboring countries have eased and there are few wars, he has never been out of the capital.

The wife he married is also a noble girl in Beijing, with dignified and generous behavior and good temperament, but at the same time, she is somewhat arrogant and self-controlled.

As soon as the two of them came in, Yin Zhige took Zhong Xiaoshu and saluted General Guangwu and his wife.

"I have seen the general and his wife, and the two distinguished guests have come to the mansion in person, and the lower officials have lost their distance."

"Zhige, you're really out of sight! Hahaha, you and I are destined to be colleagues, so why do you need to come to these false courtesies again. ”

"The general laughed, please take a seat." Yin Zhige clenched his fists and asked.

Zhong Xiaoshu also instructed his subordinates in a timely manner, "Serve tea to the general and his wife." ”

The general's wife glanced at it, didn't say anything, and turned her gaze to Yin Zhige with a slight smile.

The four of them sat down, and after a brief introduction, they began to greet each other.

The general's wife smiled gently and praised it, "General Yin was able to repair the Imperial Mansion so well in just one month, and he is indeed a person who even the emperor is full of." ”

All the attention is still on this Zhonglang who has the emperor's blue eyes.

"Mrs. Li praised it falsely, but I didn't help at all in this matter, it was all because my wife was tired." Yin Zhige glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu beside him with a smile, and naturally introduced Zhong Xiaoshu.

Zhong Xiaoshu was not timid at all, and smiled modestly and politely, "My husband is busy with government affairs, and I should take care of such trivial matters in the house, but I am just in a hurry, and I can simply live in people, Mrs. Li is too praised." ”

Just this sentence, she pointed out her identity as the mother of the family, and her tone was also very humble and polite, Rao is the strictest grandmother in the palace couldn't find the slightest mistake.

After saying this, I saw the general's wife look over with a little surprise, and said in her heart that she had done an investigation beforehand, and learned that this rookie lady was just a bad wife, from the countryside, and she never thought that she could speak so decently, and her meeting words were no worse than that of a woman in Beijing.

Fortunately, although she was surprised, she quickly put away her strangeness and glanced at her father-in-law, this new star couple is afraid that they are not easy to handle.

The general laughed loudly and said for his wife, "The affairs of the family house should be managed by my younger siblings, so I should also give this gift to my younger siblings." ”

After that, I glanced at my wife, presented a large box of brocade boxes, opened it, and saw that there were three ginseng sticks in excellent condition, the roots were as thick as two fingers, and they were the best at first glance.

"This is our celebration of Lord Yin and his wife's housewarming, be careful, and please smile."

Speaking of which, this gift is not too heavy or light, there are no more flashy things such as gold, silver and jewelry, and the medicinal materials given are not too rare, and the size is very delicate, and its intention is to test this new star.

Yin Zhige looked at the big brocade box, his eyes were a little bright, he was silent for a moment, turned his face slightly to look at Zhong Xiaoshu, and nodded lightly.

Zhong Xiaoshu smiled lightly, stepped forward half a step slightly, and said in a dignified manner, "Thank you for the love of the general and his wife." My husband and I just moved to a new room, which is not a big deal, but we disturbed a lot, and we bothered the two of us to come to congratulate each other in person, so it should be our negligence. ”

"But I don't want the general and his wife to be so in love, and the gifts are so intimate, not like such worldly things, they are really what the generals need, and at a glance they are full of thoughts, and my husband and I will be stingy if I repeatedly refuse, so ...... But he accepted this kindness disrespectfully. ”

This time, not only the general's wife was stunned, but even General Guangwu secretly admired Zhong Xiaoshulai, such a generous, decent and dignified and reserved words, where is it like a rural village girl can say.

Both of them stiffened their faces for half a second, and then immediately changed to a friendly smile, "Brother and sister, it's really eloquent." ”

Yin Zhige stepped forward, his eyes were shining, he stretched out his hand to half-wrap Zhong Xiaoshu, and humbly thanked the general, but in his heart he felt that his wife was very powerful and domineering.
